Beech Grove Police Department will be in our prayers 💙🖤

Godspeed Officer. We will take it from here.

A message from Beech Grove Police Chief Michael Maurice:

"It is with a heavy heart that I inform you that today we lost one of our very own, Officer Brian Elliott. Officer Elliott, along with two other Beech Grove Police Department officers, was dispatched at 6:08 p.m. to the 100 block of Diplomat Court for a disturbance. After they arrived, Officer Elliott and another officer were shot. Both officers were rushed to Eskenazi Hospital, but despite the best lifesaving efforts by medical personnel, Officer Elliott succumbed to his injuries. The other officer, who we are not naming at this time, is currently in stable condition and is expected to survive.

My heart goes out to Brian’s wife, Erin, his parents, and all of his family, friends, and loved ones. At this time, I am asking that we lean on one another to get through this.

We are grateful to the team at Eskenazi Hospital, and our law enforcement and community partners for their extraordinary response and support."

❤️ Happy Valentine's Day from NPD! 🚔

Roses are red, ❤️
Violets are blue, 💙
If you've got a warrant, 📝
We may come visit you! 👮🏻‍♂️

Here are some quick reminders on this Valentines Day:
• Stalking is not romantic.
• "But it's Valentine's Day!" is not a legal defense.
• And no, we will not deliver your love notes.

Stay safe and spread kindness today (the legal kind) ❤️ 🚔
